If you are a game designer of any kind, board game, ttrpg, video game, whatever… you really owe it to yourself to get a copy of Pyramid Arcade. Not only does it come with a ton of great games, it is the single greatest sandbox for design imaginable.

It’s one game that will never leave my collection

Happy #InternationalCatDay! While you're checking out cat pics, we thought we'd share the cute cat crew from NEW Cat Fluxx, coming to a store near you on 9/9. They don't eat much, won't make a mess, & fit perfectly in the Cat Fluxx game box! Will you be taking them home with you?

Try it with each player controlling 2 pieces, not 3!

I think the Pyramid Arcade overall is an incredible package. There is literally any kind of game for any kind of person. I remember backing it on Kickstarter before I really knew what it was. And when I got it I was blown away. Then Looney Labs gave us the Zendo kit. And I love them for that too.

Treehouse is brilliant. It looks like a kids' game because you're just rolling a die and doing what it says, but then you start to realize what kind of agency you *do* have and what all of the actions actually do, and then you can start setting yourself up for statistical advantages.

This is simply one of the best versions of Fluxx. I love the flexibility in meeting the Goal cards. Just works extremely well. Definitely one of my favorites! Published by @looneylabs.bsky.social - What is one of your favorite versions of #Fluxx?
